Pros

The best thing to work for an airline is travel around the world for free. Experience working with people from different nationalities, of all colors. Experience the different cultures around the world.

Cons

Waking up at wee hour of the day to get ready for your flight. The passengers who fly in this airline are so spoiled and unreasonable at times. They can get away with doing something nasty that they can never get away if they fly with other airlines.

Well managed airline giant offers good opportunities, but not to every nationality...

Business Outlook

Pros

Good corporate company, they pay on time.

Cons

Horizontal career moves are very limited and you may face domination of some nationalities and may not get an opportunity to move forward due to that reason. That profit share - bonus never comes. Before the fiscal year end, they do aircraft orders and payments and nobody gets a fair profit share. So, forget about the profit share.
